Dark, almost black trumpet-shaped blooms, Calibrachoa ‘Can-can Black Cherry' is a gorgeous, cascading summer bedding plant that is well suited to tumbling over the edges hanging baskets and pots and containers.
More vigorous than the Cabaret series of calibrachoa, it has the same superb features of free flowering, well-branched plants with season-long flowering even under wet, low light conditions.

How to care for Calibrachoa Can-can Black Cherry (Can-can Series):
Pot up cuttings and grow on under glass until all risk of frost has passed and they can then either be planted outside into a well-prepared bed, or used to fill decorative pots and hanging baskets for the patio (9cm plants don’t need potting on but require initial frost protection).
Pinching out the growing tips will encourage them to become bushier, and feeding with a high-potash fertiliser at regular intervals throughout the summer will promote even more flowers to form.
